Marinate the Shrimp:
Toss the shrimp with cayenne, onion, garlic, turmeric, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Let it sit so the flavors meld. -
Sauté the Vegetables:
In a frying pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft. Then add the red bell pepper, carrot, mushrooms, and corn; sauté for an additional minute. -
Spice it Up:
Sprinkle in the turmeric, cayenne, onion powder, coriander, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well so that all the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices. -
Cook the Rice:
Mix in the rice and water to the pan, and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the green peas and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the rice has absorbed all the water. -
Flavor Boost:
Stir in the sweet soy sauce and chopped parsley, ensuring that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the rice. -
Sear the Shrimp:
In a separate pan over medium heat, sear the marinated shrimp for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and firm. Drizzle in the additional sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, and adjust with salt as needed; stir to combine. -
